"No doubt" Rishi Sunak will lead Tories into general election - party chairman
There is “no doubt” that Rishi Sunak will lead the Conservatives into a general election, Richard Holden has said after the Tories suffered a bruising set of local election results.
The party chairman was repeatedly asked whether the Prime Minister’s can survive following losses in key areas like Hartlepool, Rushmoor in Hampshire and Thurrock.
He told Times Radio: “The Prime Minister is going to go on and lead the Conservative Party into the general election, there’s no doubt about that.”
Asked for his reaction to the results so far, Mr Holden said: “Not a great set of results but coming off I think it would be fair to say a very high watermark in 2021.”
'I will put the priorities of this town first' pledges Labour's Chris Webb newly elected MP for Blackpool South
Labour's Chris Webb is the new MP for Blackpool South after a resounding by-election victory - and immediately pledged to put the town first.
He secured the seat with a majority of 7,607 votes ahead of second placed Conservative candidate David Jones. Mr Jones's tally of 3,218 votes put him just ahead of Reform UK candidate Mark Butcher with 3,101.
The result means the seat returns to Labour after previous MP Scott Benton won it for the Tories at the 2019 General Election before resigning the seat earlier this year.

Chorley local election results 2024: Labour almost wipe out the Conservatives
Labour have tightened their grip on Chorley Council after winning all but one of the seats up for grabs at this year’s local elections - and deposing the Tory opposition group leader in the process.
Of the 14 seats being contested, the ruling party held all 11 that it was defending from the last time this particular set was fought in 2021 - and gained two others. The Conservatives kept hold of just one seat on the night.
The authority elects a third of its members each time there is a poll and the results this year have translated into Labour securing a position of near omnipotence in the borough. It now holds 39 of the 42 seats at the town hall, with the Tories down to just three.
